"It oxidized completely when that flash occurred," Tom muttered.

Lanthanum is easily oxidized (a centimeter-sized sample will completely oxidize within a year) and is therefore used in elemental form only for research purposes.

In that year it was announced that researchers had managed to completely oxidize methanol using a series (or "cascade") of enzymes in a biofuel cell.

Previously the enzyme catalysts had failed to completely oxidize the cell's fuel, delivering far lower amounts of energy than what was expected given what was known about the energy capacity of the fuel.

Thus a centimeter-sized sample of neodymium completely oxidizes within a year.

Photocatalytic oxidation systems are able to completely oxidize and degrade organic contaminants.

Nitrocellulose contains insufficient oxygen to completely oxidize its carbon and hydrogen.

After 48 hours when the sample has reached room temperature it is centrifuged, which allows the organic matter to completely oxidize, and the pellet is extracted, mixed with distilled water, and examined on a slide.

I also do not know whether a citrate ion consumes one hypochlorite ion and then slows down, or consumes several until completely oxidized to CO2 and water, or something in between.

The tea leaves are allowed to completely oxidize.
